Taste with attitude

A high proportion of black tea extract compared to the competition ensures an intense taste. Natural flavors give the varieties from peach to passion fruit to acai their special touch. Sugar-free alternatives are being planned. Akpinar fills the iced tea in Aurich in environmentally friendly returnable glass bottles and sells it in two sizes: 0.33 liters with a crown cap for serving in restaurants and 0.5 liters with a screw cap for on the go.
